Chapter 97

"Pei Shuo, I have your letter." Nanxun's visiting scholar brought a letter from his hometown. After distributing the letter, he took Pei Shuo to a place where there was no one and handed him two bamboo tubes tied together with hemp rope. He didn't forget to tease him that he had a good child's adopted daughter-in-law.

"Thank you." At the moment when he accepted the bamboo tube, Pei Shuo's mood surged. He had never expected this before. He just wanted to find a quiet place to see ah Yao's reply.

I didn't understand what you wrote. It's a long way to go. I can't help. I don't know whether the bacon is easy to deal with. I have to make you some lard residue. I refined the lard and ate it with porridge or noodles. There is wrapping paper under the lard residue. It's estimated that there should be a layer of solidified lard under the paper when the letter is sent to you. One bamboo tube contains potherb mustard, and another bamboo tube contains cream mixed with Bletilla and bovine pith, which is not for eating. Master Wangyue said that Bletilla cream is very useful for dealing with chapped hands and feet in winter. I hope it is useful for you.]

The uneasiness after receiving the letter disappeared at the moment. Ah Yao understood his letter!

Pei Shuo jumped up and danced to express his joy.

Seeing his complaint in the letter, a Yao made pig oil residue and pickles that can be carried far away, as well as Bletilla striata cream to prevent chapping in winter. How can she be so cute and considerate!

Pei Shuo folded the letter and stroked the crease of the letter before receiving the inner bag close to his heart.

Standing high, watching the wind blowing wheat waves at the foot of Yanmen, it was very yellow, like the Nanxun river he passed when he left. The river was surging, wave after wave.

Many people gathered at the edge of the wheat field. The veterans said that this year's harvest was good, and the barbarians in the north were likely to go south to thresh the valley. They had to hurry up to harvest and dry the wheat and return to the warehouse.

After watching for a while, he picked up the brick pick-up pole placed on the hillside and set off for Feihu mountain. He didn't notice that there were scouts at the foot of the mountain, galloping along the narrow path in the wheat field, and then hurried into Yanmen, but it had nothing to do with him.

At night, the mountains are quiet.

The breeze blew through the clouds and fog, covered the bright moon in the sky with a veil, and the world was suddenly dark.

The beacon tower on the hillside of Feihu mountain burns a torch and takes care of it with the beacon tower on the opposite mountain. Here, with its back against the barrier, the terrain is steep, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if this section of the city wall has not been built, the Sentinels on duty also rest assured to doze off. They do not know that the danger is coming at this time.

The iron hook from the north of the Great Wall threw it up to block the brick hole. Taking advantage of the dark moon and the high wind, several masked men in night clothes climbed up with their hands and feet, one left and one right quietly approached the two dozing soldiers from behind, almost at the same time!

A knife.

Blood spatter.

The two soldiers were quietly disposed of and thrown into the hills and grass.

The uninvited masked people immediately put on their clothes and adjusted their makeup. They don't look much different from the people here.

Instead of the original soldiers, their actions were unscrupulous. They successively received the follow-up people, climbed over the wall, took weapons and hid in the beacon tower.

It's getting brighter.

Pei Shuo, as usual, carried the brick pole to the beacon tower. As soon as they saw Pei Shuo picking up the brick from a distance, their nerves were tense, their temples swelled, and subconsciously clenched the handle of the knife.

"Don't scare the snake, just pick the brick." People nearby motioned him to see the bricks piled up under the beacon tower for the wall to be built.

The hand holding the handle of the knife was released.

Pei Shuo knows nothing about it.

Laying down the bricks at the designated place, he took out paper and carbon strips from his arms and handed them to the soldiers standing guard.

They looked at the contents, signed the name on the wooden card, and impatiently sent Pei Shuo away.

Pei Shuo took a look at his hand, turned his head and said to himself that it was time to eat, turned and ran to the foot of the mountain.

"He's just a little boy. Looking at the number of these bricks, he should pick them up by himself in the near future. He can't get good little pity in the army. It's not enough." Pei Shuo's figure is getting smaller and smaller. The man said so to his companions, but he made a gesture to let the people hiding in the building keep up with Pei Shuo. If his movements are wrong, shut up.

Pei Shuo didn't stop until he couldn't see the beacon tower. He actually listened to the movement on the road in the forest. Looking back, no one came. He ran into the woods and squatted in the grass.

The owl on the tree had big eyes and twisted his head nervously. Pei Shuo's ears under the tree moved slightly, and the branches and leaves rustled, mixed with the sound of breaking wind that did not belong to nature.

Pei Shuo gradually narrowed his eyes and suddenly stood up from the grass.

The owl tilted his head and looked at Pei Shuo who lifted his pants and adjusted them again, just like looking at a fool, "comfortable! Damn it, I'm going to miss the time to eat! "

He continued to run back.

The people behind him followed him back to the camp and saw him stand alone at the end of the rice team. Finally, he only got porridge and squatted under the tree to drink, in sharp contrast to the groups of soldiers.

As the leader said, the poor man who was targeted by the army ruffians was rejected by the public and did not pose a threat to them. Those who watched him were assured to return to life.

Pei Shuo raised his head from the sea bowl and looked around. The feeling of being watched disappeared. He took out a bamboo tube, scooped out one or two pig oil residue, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

It's a little burnt. After a long journey, the skin on the surface is not very crisp, but it's tough with oil and chewy, as if eating meat.

"Boy, how do you feel about moving bricks alone recently? Call grandpa obediently and show filial respect. We'll consider saying a few good words to you in front of boss Yong. There's nothing wrong. "

There is no tiger in the mountain, and the monkey is called the king.

Li Yongwu is not here, so these people want to blackmail first? Then when Li Yongwu was there, he blackmailed good money for the second time. It can be seen that these people do not sincerely respect their boss.

Pei Shuo gulped down the porridge three or two times, wiped his mouth, raised his chin towards them, and mocked: "don't take a bath and take care of himself. Do you want to be my grandfather? Li Yongwu doesn't have this life. You don't even have the qualification to carry shoes. "

These words angered the people, rolled up their sleeves and came to Pei Shuo: "smelly boy, I won't teach you a lesson today, I'm your grandson!"

"Grandson, Colonel, it's a one-on-one fight. In this corner, four big masters fight around a child. Don't lose face."

After entering the military camp, he sent troops and generals to investigate the terrain. Instead, he learned a lot from Fang Jiabao and the new soldiers in the camp.

Pei Shuo squatted down and jumped up with his legs. He clapped his hands on the trunk, which was another leverage. He somersaulted back and landed on the trunk. He stood firm and bowed down. He let them jump and scold under the tree. He stood still on the tree.

Lying down in a comfortable position, Pei Shuo took out his signature and fell into meditation.

Today's signature is somewhat different from that in the past. Zhang Wu used to give him a signature, directly biting his finger and pressing the fingerprint. He said he couldn't write his name. It's faster to press the fingerprint. Today, it's not normal, and the speed of signing is quite fast.

Was it Zhang Wu or someone else who followed him down Feihu ridge?

……

The man who followed Pei Shuo returned to Feihu ridge: "that man is not abnormal. In addition, his subordinates found that the recent duty of Feihu ridge is in the charge of recruits who arrive at Yanmen in spring and change their posts every two days."

"Recruits? God help me! "
